Goodbye ZX12R....can't see them keeping it in the range alongside this as they are too similar.
Motorcycle's are inherently unstable... :twisted:

Nova
I think they will
Kwaka see the 12 in the same light as the 10R
a hyper sports bike

the ZZR is not included in that group, as it does not try to be....

so I hope they keep both

cheers

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

With all the CG bikes being published as the "real thing" these days, how can we be certain that this is actually real? Surely if MCN have a picture of the new ZZR, then other bike sites would have them aswell.

Bikes are often launched to the media but they have to sign a non-disclosure agreement which expires on a certain date. I hope that the certain date for the ZZR is tomorrow.

I've been dying to see what the replacement for the ZZR1200 is, and hopefully this is it.

I'm excited. New bike, here I come. :lol:

Nah, I still call photochop. The air intake is too small, the nose is far too close to being just a stretched ZX-12R-A, the lower portions of the side fairing are a direct lift from the ZZ-R12, and does anyone really believe that, in 2005, Kawasaki would launch a new sports-tourer featuring the same Ferrari Testarossa cooling gill slats that looked tryhard on the Suzuki RF900 back in 1993...

I-K, I tend to agree with you. I guess we'll find out in the next day or two.

And besides, it wouldn't be like an esteemed publication like Motorcycle News to run a story based on CG. *cough, bullshit, cough*
